Safety and General Information - 5
Safety and General Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT
OPERATION
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING YOUR PERSONAL
COMMUNICATOR
The information provided in this document supersedes the general
safety information contained in user guides published prior to this
date. For information regarding radio use in a hazardous
atmosphere please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM) Approval
Manual Supplement or Instruction Card, which is included with
radio models that offer this capability.
RF Operational Characteristics
Your Personal Communicator contains a transmitter and a receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)
energy. The Personal Communicator operates in the frequency
range of 900 MHz to 1990 MHz and employs digital modulation
techniques.
When you communicate with your Personal Communicator, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your
personal communicator transmits. The output power level typically
may vary over a range from 0.063 watts to 1.58 watts.
Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Personal Communicator is designed to comply with
the following national and international standards and guidelines
regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy:
•United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of
Federal Regulations; 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J
UGT720.book Page 5 Friday, August 9, 2002 2:17 PM

6- Safety and General Information
•American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992
•Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.
1-1999 Edition
•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) of the United States, Report 86, 1986
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
•National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom
1995
•Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human
Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the
Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
•Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications
(Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard
1999 (applicable to wireless phones only)
To assure optimal performance and make sure human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set
forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following
procedures:
Portable Personal Communicator Operation
and EME Exposure
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could
damage the Personal Communicator and may violate FCC and/or
other applicable regulations.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the Personal Communicator is
“IN USE”. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause
UGT720.book Page 6 Friday, August 9, 2002 2:17 PM

Safety and General Information - 7
the Personal Communicator to operate at a higher power level than
needed.
Phone Operation
The Personal Communicator is designed to be used with a headset
for talking and listening. The Personal Communicator can also be
placed inside the holster, then the holster can be clipped onto your
belt, pocket, handbag, or other apparel and used with the headset.
Body-worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you
wear the Personal Communicator on your body when transmitting,
always place the Personal Communicator in a Motorola supplied
or approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness. Use of
non-Motorola-approved accessories may exceed FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory,
ensure the antenna is at least one inch (2.5 cm) from your
body when transmitting.
Approved Accessories
For a list of approved Motorola accessories, look in the accessory
section of this manual.
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts,
turn off your Personal Communicator in any facility where posted
notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
UGT720.book Page 7 Friday, August 9, 2002 2:17 PM

8- Safety and General Information
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your Personal Communicator
when on board an aircraft. Any use of a Personal Communicator
must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew
instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimetres) be maintained
between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker.These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by,
and recommendations of, Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the Personal Communicator more than six
inches (15 centimetres) from their pacemaker when the
Personal Communicator is turned ON.
•not carry the Personal Communicator in the breast pocket.
•use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference.
•turn the Personal Communicator OFF immediately if you have
any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately

shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you
in obtaining this information.
Safety and General
Use in Vehicles
Check the laws and regulations on the use of phones in your
vehicle. You are advised to always obey them.
When using your Personal Communicator in a vehicle, please:
•Use hands-free operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call.
Operational Warnings
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
Do not place the Personal Communicator in the area over an air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great
force. If the Personal Communicator is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the Personal
Communicator may be propelled with great force and cause
serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your Personal Communicator prior to entering any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is especially
qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe” (for example,
Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL Approved). Do not remove, install, or
charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury
or even death.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above
include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or
UGT720.book Page 9 Friday, August 9, 2002 2:17 PM

10 - Safety and General Information
chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and
any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres
are often but not always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your
Personal Communicator when you are near electrical blasting
caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way
radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use the Personal Communicator if it has a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin,
a minor burn can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such
as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded
chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects.
